Highlight at the Geneva Motor Show 2014: The world premiere of the QUANT e-Sportlimousine with nanoFLOWCELL® powertrain concept

Vaduz (ots) - "A vision becomes reality." With these words, Nunzio
La Vecchia presented the new QUANT e-Sportlimousine during the press
day of the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. The world premiere of the first
automobile with a nanoFLOWCELL® powertrain aroused great
international media interest. This highly anticipated, revolutionary
powertrain technology and energy-storage system can give new impetus
to the field of electric mobility.

"The QUANT e-Sportlimousine is a research vehicle for road testing
innovative energy storage systems, focusing especially on development
and improvements in flow cell battery technology. The QUANT
e-Sportlimousine is neither a show car, nor a concept car. It is the
first automobile to be fitted with the nanoFLOWCELL® that is also
designed from the ground up to meet all homologation requirements,"
according to Nunzio La Vecchia, Technical Director of nanoFLOWCELL
AG.

How the nanoFLOWCELL® works

Flow cells combine aspects of electrochemical accumulator cells
with those of fuel cells. Liquid electrolytes are kept in two tanks
and circulated through the cell. At the heart of the system, a
membrane separates the two electrolytic solutions, but allows
electrical charge to pass through and thereby produce power for the
drive train.

Advantages of the nanoFLOWCELL®

"The advantages of the nanoFLOWCELL® lie in its high charge
density, high performance density, and its light weight compared to
conventional energy storage systems. Furthermore, it contains no
harmful substances, no moving parts, and it is very efficient,"
explains Nunzio La Vecchia.

The nanoFLOWCELL® was conceived and is under active development at
the nanoFLOWCELL DigiLab simulation lab at nanoFLOWCELL AG in Zurich,
Switzerland. The results are very promising: At a nominal voltage of
600 V and 50 A nominal current the system is achieving an impressive
continuous output of 30 kW. The nanoFLOWCELL® has a 5- times greater
performance-by-weight than current lithium-ion technologies that
power most of today's electrical vehicles, meaning its driving range
is 5-times greater than a conventional unit of the same weight.
